He described the following procedures: • While the City staff provides comprehensive information about each project under consideration, citizen input is valued and appreciated. • The Board is here to listen to citizen comments. Each citizen may address the Board once for each item. • Decisions on development projects are based on judgment of compliance or non-compliance with city Land Use Code. • Should a citizen wish to address the Board on items other than what is on the agenda, time will be allowed for that as well. • This is a legal hearing, and the Chair will moderate for the usual civility and fairness to ensure that everyone who wishes to speak can be heard.

Taft Place, Project Development Plan – PDP180008 Project Description: This is a request to develop a 2 ½ story mixed-use building on 0.45 acres. The property located at 4101 S. Taft Hill Road is situated on the southwest corner of South Taft Hill Road and W CR 38 E intersection. The proposed building includes 4 dwelling units with approximately 4,369 S.F. of residential area and 1,056 S. F. of commercial space. The site is accessed on the east by an “entrance only” along Taft Hill Road, and by a full access drive on the north along W CR 38E. Parking is proposed interior to the site, including 14 parking spaces. The property is zoned Low Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood (L-M-N). Due to the commercial component of the mixed-use building, not considered to be part of a neighborhood center, this project is subject to a Type 2 Review and decision by the Planning and Zoning Board. Recommendation: Approval Secretary Gerber reported that there were no citizen emails/letters received. Chair Schneider recused himself from this item stating conflict of interest. Staff and Applicant Presentations Planner Wray gave a brief verbal/visual overview of this project Dana Lockwood, Lockwood Architects, Inc., provided a brief verbal/visual presentation. Mr. Lockwood offered that the building height is considered 2-stories as opposed to what Planner Wray presented it to be at 2 1/2 stories. Public Input (3 minutes per person) None noted Staff Response None noted Board Questions / Deliberation Member Pardee commented that she liked the configuration of how the buildings look initially. She was curious as to why the decision for a flat roof. Mr. Lockwood responded that the roof will have a 1 ¼” per foot slope that will drain on the North elevation (low side of roof) to a scupper.
